My Confessions

I saw a blog post a couple of weeks ago with confessions.  I really liked it because a lot of the time I feel like we all get caught up on showing the world only our very best.  Which leaves everyone else (me included) feeling like their life is sub-par.  So I thought I would do a post of my confessions.

1. Last month I forgot to pay our electric bill and our power got shut off temporarily

Life is chaotic right now and I'm human.  I cried for a solid five minutes when Cody called me at work to tell me the power was off.  After being on hold for 45 minutes and paying what was due the power was restored.


2. I still haven't purchased a wedding dress and my wedding is six months away

This one is a hard one for me. My inner thrifter won't allow me to spend tons of money on a dress I'm going to wear once. I'm in love with a dress, I just can't bring myself to fork up the dough for it.


3. We own one pot for cooking

When we moved into our apartment last year, we had five different sized pots.  Since then we have rusted and worn out 4 of them and the one we still have is barely usable, but usable nonetheless.


4. We don't own a whisk, a hand mixer, much less a full Kitchen aid

I would love to have all of these "necessities", but we haven't purchased any.  I make cookies the old fashion way as well as mashed potatoes.  I wish I could say it's because I want to make my ancestors proud, but really we just haven't purchased these things.


5. My favorite snack right now is mini Kit-Kats dipped in peanut butter

My two favorite things peanut butter and Kit-Kats.  Give it a try, you won't regret it.


6. My entire life revolves around wedding planning

I wish I was exaggerating. All of my free time goes to planning every detail of the wedding.  It's not a bad thing it just makes for crazy wedding nightmares every night.


7. I think about eloping at least twice a day.
I may be slightly exaggerating on this one, but I think about it a lot.  And the reason we are not doing it is because I want to share my special day with everyone I love.  That is more important to me than just running off and getting married.  But just know I think about eloping often.


8. I haven't been to the gym in three months

I hate the gym.  I enjoy running outside, but lately it seems there isn't enough time in the day to do it.  I want to go for a long run otherwise I feel it is unsuccessful.  I could go to the gym considering it's in our complex, but I don't.


9. Cody and I went to the mall the other day and neither of us purchased a thing!!!

I'm very proud of this one.  I don't know if it was because I honestly hate that '90s fashion has come back. Or that I compared everything I liked to the same dollar amount I could be paying for something wedding.


10. I don't eat breakfast most days

This one is bad.  I know I should eat breakfast for multiple reasons one being that I'm notorious for hangry around 11 am and my lunch isn't until noon.


11. I wake up a half an hour before I have to be at work

Yep, I'm that lazy.  I don't bother with make-up, I put together my outfit the night before, (Cody just laughed when I read this to him.  Because most days I don't plan ahead) and I do whatever with my hair.  I'm lucky that we live practically in the backyard of my work otherwise I don't know what I would do.  I definitely don't miss my long commutes from Salt Lake to Ogden.


12. I still get zits

Lots of them actually.  Currently I'm sporting at least two big ones on my face. (And it's not from wearing make-up)  Whoever lied to me and told me I wouldn't have zits when I got in my twenties, needs to be given a whipping.  I know that a lot of them are from stress, but I feel like there is not a single face wash out there that solves all of my problems long term.  I've pretty much accepted that I will deal with zits until I die.


I know some of these confessions are silly, but some of them are serious and have brought tears to my eyes.  I know that I am blessed and that these are just minor bumps in the ride of life.  I hope that the next time you feel inferior because of someone's "perfect life" you think of my post.  Because I will be the first one to tell you that I am far from perfect and that's okay.

Are there some confessions you want to make known?  Leave me one (or more) of them in the comments.
